The era of Harry Potter is coming to an end with the release of the final installment in the series. Fans everywhere are bound to feel a sense of loss as Warner Bros. bids farewell to such a beloved franchise. However, this closure does not signify the end, as the magical world of Harry Potter still holds numerous opportunities for exploration, generating hundreds of millions of USD at the box office through various adaptations.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opened with a remarkable reception, pulling in an impressive 75 million USD in ticket sales within just the first three days of its release. This success marked a strong beginning for the spin-off films set in the Harry Potter universe.
According to statistics, this opening revenue, although slightly lower than the initial releases of the Harry Potter films (with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” earning at least 77 million USD in its opening weekend), still sends a strong signal regarding the audience’s continued interest in the wizarding world. It proves that fans remain deeply connected to the Harry Potter saga, despite the absence of the original characters in this new storyline.
In addition to “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” the title of Doctor Strange has also seen a significant drop in box office revenue this week, earning only 17 million USD, contributing to a total of 181 million USD in the North American market.
Interestingly, in Vietnam, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” has grossed over 20 billion VND. In just the first week, the film generated 8 billion VND, surpassing even the blockbuster “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
It is clear that Vietnamese audiences are particularly enthusiastic about “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” the spin-off film set in the universe of Harry Potter.
